Instructions
  1. Quickly sort through the dried black beans, picking out any that may have gone bad. Place the rest in a large stockpot with the quart and a half of water. Add the quartered onion, garlic cloves and oregano (can substitute 1/2 tsp. of dried oregano for fresh oregano sprigs).
  2. Bring water mixture to a boil over high heat. Lower temperature to low and allow to simmer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the beans have softened.
  3. Allow beans to cool. They can now be added to any recipe or packaged up and frozen for up to 6 months!
